Info about the programme

Things to know about the Sales & Marketing Programme

To the point

The service portfolio of the Rhenus Group is huge - so it is all the more important that each service is well received by the relevant target group. This is ensured, among other things, by our sales and marketing departments, which are inseparable in an increasingly networked and digitalised world. They think through new ways to rethink the customer journey and serve our customers in the best possible way.

This is a multi-faceted area of responsibility in which there is a lot for you to discover as a trainee over the period of 18 months, and you decide for yourself which projects and stations you would like to work on.
